Also, Saddam used another Machiavelli method that he mentioned in his piece, and he chose fear over love. I remember that everyone feared Saddam because he was ruthless against whoever threatens his authority. Saddam created this fear when he started his presidency because I think that he thought that a leader would not survive in his position without fear. For example, before he became president, he was the Vice President of Iraq. The president at that time who was Ahmed Hassan Al-bakr was forced to resign by Saddam because Saddam wanted to take his place. After that, President Al-bakr resigned and told the people that Saddam will be the president. According to the article History of Iraq part II: the rise of Saddam Hussein, “Hussein announced

After the message, the American people assume that the terrorist will be taken down.
In matters of environmental preservation, one has two options; extol the virtues of economic expansion, or shelter the wounded environment- an angel and devil perched upon shoulders situation of sorts. In building his argument, human rights activist and 39th president of the United States of America Jimmy Carter displays a commendable zeal for his cause whilst skillfully utilizing the element of persuasion to transcend the “devil”. No one is blind to the suffering caused by environmental abuse, but Carter draws a dagger of emotion, veiled by stylistic phrasing and subtle remarks, and plunges it into the heart of his opposers with this passage, ensuring no blind eye may be turned to the fate of his country. Changing the opinion of an opposer
Karl Rove is an exceptional political strategist worthy of the title “The Architect” as demonstrated by the many feats he accomplished mentioned in the video Karl Rove: The Architect. The first aspect that I found significant was Karl Rove’s use of “dirty tricks” during political campaigns (Karl Rove: The). Karl Rove has the patience and the mindset to bring down the opponent’s reputation in order to win to which he even went as far as to speak about in his training seminars across the nation. According to the video, Karl Rove publically rejected direct personal attacks such as the 527’s television advertisements John Kerry’s campaign, however, spread their message against him, thus proving Rove’s support for similar tactics. Since 527 groups are

Your article was tragic but very intriguing; I really enjoyed reading it. It is tragic that not only innocent children are suffering, police officers whose goals were to help not hurt also suffered at the expense of a speculation. The use of logos and pathos throughout this article was clearly prevalent. I agree that the author was very effective in presenting how dangerous simple charity work can be. I found it very interesting that your article even included information about why the Taliban now had suspicions of vaccination campaigns.
Colter Tuttle P.4 Machiavelli Essay Machiavelli argues that a leader should be both loved and feared, but if you had to pick one, pick fear. He favors fear over being loved, because it is safer for the leader to have his followers fear him than love him. It is easier to betray someone that you have love for, than someone that you fear. Machiavelli also believes that when you have an army, in order to keep them in harmony, they would have to fear you and respect your abilities as a leader. If they had no fear of their leader they would not be as united as they would be if they solely respected him.

Rhetorical Analysis of ISIS Is Weak In the now viral video that came out three days after the Paris attacks which resulted in 130 murders and over 300 injuries, reporter Waleed Aly states, “ISIL is weak” this statement something most people have difficulty to accept due to recent events that have put most of the world, mainly the west in a state of fear. Aly continues to build his argument pointing out that even though ISIL claims responsibility for the attacks, its should be known this is a reoccurring tactic for them, they take credit for any attack done on western soil to appear bigger, tougher, and stronger than what they really are, they did the same when there were attacks in Canada, New York, and Australia. The reporter goes on to say that ISIL did not control their attackers, because according to their magazine, “it is important that the killing becomes attributed to patrons of the Islamic state who have obeyed its leadership.
Past leaders such as Andrew Jackson, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Marc Antony are evidence that society does not reward morality and good character in leadership. Society is drawn to leaders that have good rhetoric, propaganda, and charismatic personalities, and society supports them despite their immorality. Society is concerned about stability more than the morality of their leaders and will support immoral leaders in times of crisis to provide stability. In history there have been multiple leaders that have used rhetoric, propaganda and charismatic personalities to gain power, despite their morals.
The ability to divide our attention during cognitively demanding tasks and the allure of technology creates a delicate balancing act that can at times have grave consequences. On September 22, 2006 in Utah, Reggie Shaw placed the fates of James Furfaro and Keith O’Dell, as well as his own upon this deadly scale. Tragically, the lives of James and Keith were lost, and Reggie Shaw’s future would be forever altered by the events and decisions of that day (Richtel 16).

Machiavelli would say that it is best to be feared rather than loved as long as the fear does not cause hate, which he believed to be perfectly possible.
